national armed section" gather ing Griefs hall, 54 West Lake Street.
 Early as was the hour, Fischer was also at work getting out lhe hand bills calling the haymarket mass meeting. The hand bills last words were: "Workingmen, arm yourselves and appear in Iull force!" What Spies, Schwab and the other leaders were doing that day may be partly inferred from the burning appeals for resistance, and calls "To Arms!" that appear ed in their ne wspaper organs that evening. "Ruhe," penned by Spies own hand, started out of the Arbeiter Ieitung. After the pa pers were of, and their editors had swallowed a nasty supper, it Is known that Spies, Parsons Schwab, Fielden, Fischer and olh. CT ruling spirits, mostly members of the self same "armed sections" that held tue Greifs hall concldve went into close session at the h. ternatiOnal headquarters ill tho Arbeiter Zeitung building, where reports by messenger and tele- phone were received as the mo ments sped.
 Llngg's crew of bomb makers were still assiduously at work. For some reason he himself was unable to remain with them all the tune, and evening found him CUTS Ing their slow progress. II was some time after D. m.-the hour mentioned tor the Haymarkel meeting to begin-when Linge put into little trunk what bombs were ready some fifty or sixty and started with the burden for the appointed rendezvous, an anar- chists saloon near by, known as Netf's hall, 5S Clabourne avenue. He was met on the way by Il mes. senger who had come to hurry him along. The trunk was left open in d passage way of the saloon, and without more ado men began drop ping in quietly, alone or in coup les,

 Twenty five thousand people, the anarchists leaders estinated would be gathered together in he Haymarket. This was not an eX- travagant expectation, when l2,- 900 had been so easily massed near McCorinick's. But fear Oi further rioting kept pretty much everybody at home except about 1000 men,, nearly all of them nn- mistakably Anarchists. Undonbt- edly the smallness of the crowd made the Anarchists leaders pause. "The social revolution" backed by a mob of workmen 25.000 strong had changed to prospective fight between Anarchists alone on one side and the police in force on the other. It was evident to the most casual spectator in tine Haymar' kct that d h.tch existed some. where, and apparently the meet. ing's managers were all complete- ly at sea.
 Finally, an hour and half late, Spies. Parsons and Fielden ad dressed the crowd, ia the order named, using wagon for their rostrum. The first two, in com parison with their usual harangues, were tame as pair of dOveE. Gradually the crowd thinned out No police interfered, and the chance the "reds" had waited fol was nearly gone. The meeting would be a laughing stock to the public, the leaders would be dis credited by even their own ilK, and

 would mean not the "social revo. lution began, but the Information al Association collaps ed.
 Fielden was worthy the occa sion. He had been in the back ground on the wagon with Schnau belt, the bomb.thrower, Spies ano other directing minds, who saw plainly that something must be done, and quickly, Therefore when his turn came, Fielder stepped boldly to the front, dis
